Using AI and Peer Coaching to Address Racial Disparities Among People Who Use Opioids

Description

Black and Latinx people who use opioids are disproportionately impacted by opioid overdose deaths. The proposed study assesses the efficacy of an open source, multimodal artificial intelligence-driven texting tool combined with peer recovery coach-supported text contact that delivers social services, stigma reduction, health habitus, and patient navigation content addressing social determinants of health to enhance receipt of buprenorphine in primary care among emergency department-enrolled Black / Latinx people who use opioids.
